I have a question about call,
I know very well of the restrictions on in-house call but what about home call?
Can a resident be on pager/home call q1 for 4 weeks in a row? Per ACGME:
So it seems that residents need to get 1 day completely off (no pager call) in 7. Does that sound right?

VI.G.3.:
Mandatory Time Free of Duty
“Residents must be scheduled for a minimum of one day free of duty every week (when averaged over four weeks). At-home call cannot be assigned on these free days.
